Happy 10th Birthday Hope Lodge!! The American Cancer Society AstraZeneca Hope Lodge in Philadelphia opened in 2009. It provides a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers. More than just a roof over their heads, it's a nurturing community that helps patients access the care they need. The Hope Lodge community offers a supportive, homelike environment where guests can share a meal, join in the evening's activities, or unwind in their own private room. Through the generosity of the family and friends of the Cathy Miller Cancer Fund, the fund has donated in excess of $850,000 towards the construction and operation of the Hope Lodge!
